Very Sad in Ohio

[samplegirl]

Republicans won everything!

[Wingus Dingus]

1. I'm sorry you're so sax.

[SharonAnn]

2. Vance, ugh!

[Demsrule86]

3. Me too. I have worked on all of Tim Ryan's campaigns...love the guy.

[gab13by13]

5. He ran a good campaign,

Ohio is too far right.

[Demsrule86]

20. He did. There are still many Democrats in Ohio. We have a very weak party who just goes along

to get along...Nan Whaley is a perfect example...she without a doubt hurt Ryan. Why did she even run...she didn't even campaign really.

4. Expected

They don't vote for the person. They see the R and just do it.

6. From Michigan with love.

I’m sorry.

Amazing how our states are so different.

[OhioChick]

7. Sad indeed, at least we still have Sherrod. n/t

[W_HAMILTON]

8. They must have listened to Ryan about how bad Democrats were.

[DemocraticPatriot]

12. Agreed. Talking bad about Democrats to magats

is not going to win over any magats, and it depresses the Democratic base.


Better if Ryan had not talked about Democrats or President "Fighting Joe Biden", at all...


talking about yourself is negated when you criticize your own party...


However, Ohio seems far out of reach lately. I don't really understand it..

[W_HAMILTON]

13. Yep. And the worst part is...

...THE ONE FUCKING DEMOCRAT THAT CAN WIN AND HAS WON STATEWIDE IN OHIO -- SHERROD BROWN -- DOES NONE OF THOSE THINGS!

Ryan should just switch parties and run as a """responsible""" Republican. The best performers of the night have been Democrats and those seen as """responsible""" Republicans. The Trump extremists only did well in extremist areas they were already expected to win in.

9. Fox News influenced Ohio.

[Sugarcoated]

10. As a Pennsylvanian

A guy like Ryan really appeals to me, fighting with heat for the blue collar workers. I'm disappointed, too.

[DemocraticPatriot]

11. Sorry...... nt

[Meowmee]

14. I am sorry

I am upset too

[Coventina]

15. That really sucks. I despise Vance.

More help from the national team could have made a difference.

[liberal_mama]

16. JD Vance sucks! I hated his stupid book too. I can't believe I bought it (before I knew he was an

asshole!).

[renate]

17. Vance is so slimy, opportunistic, and gross

The ideal Republican.

I am so sorry. I lived in a red state for a while and it really sucks. I can’t believe weak heartless slime like him and Abbott aren’t run out of town on a rail.

[senseandsensibility]

18. Tim Ryan should have won.

[Lemon Lyman]

19. Ugh

Same here in IA. They both used to be swing states, and they're not anymore.

[RedSpartan]

21. Ohio, Texas, and Florida are lost causes.

We need to put our effort into keeping blue states blue, and making states like Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania bluer shades of purple.
